Canine Distemper in Dogs: A Pet Owner’s Guide to Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

By Dr Sajeed Mohd

Canine distemper is a very contagious virus. It affects dogs’ respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. This disease can often be fatal. It spreads through airborne droplets or contact with infected animals. Symptoms include fever, nasal discharge, coughing, vomiting, and neurological issues like seizures. Puppies and unvaccinated dogs are most vulnerable, with mortality rates reaching 80% in untreated cases. While no cure exists, prompt veterinary care including IV fluids, antibiotics, and anticonvulsants can improve survival chances. Prevention through timely vaccination (starting at 6-8 weeks) is crucial. At Petyaari Pet Clinic, we provide full distemper care. This includes diagnosis and treatment to keep pets in Hyderabad safe.

Dog Vaccinations in India: Schedule and Costs

Vaccinating your dog is crucial for protecting them against deadly diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, and distemper, while also safeguarding public health, especially in India, which accounts for 60% of global rabies deaths. Puppies should begin vaccinations at 6-8 weeks with core vaccines (7-in-1 or 9-in-1 and rabies), followed by boosters at 12-14 weeks and annually. The 9-in-1 vaccine (₹700–₹1,000) covers additional strains such as leptospirosis, while rabies vaccines (₹350/dose) are legally mandatory. Non-core vaccines (e.g., kennel cough and canine coronavirus) are recommended based on lifestyle risks. The costs for full puppy vaccination range from ₹2,500 to ₹4,500. Always deworm before vaccinating and monitor for mild side effects. Stay compliant, track schedules, and consult a vet at Petyaari Pet Clinic.
